Joint Research Seminar: ‘Language in Minority/ised Language Media’
10th – 11th July 2013
Aberystwyth University, Wales
The joint research seminar on Language in Minority/ised Language Media, held at Aberystwyth University from 10-11 July 2013, and co-organised by the CTTS was a great success.
This research seminar was co-organised by Elin Haf Gruffydd Jones, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Mercator Institute at Aberystwyth University and Dr Eithne O’Connell, Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies and member of the Research Centre for Translation and Textual Studies at Dublin City University.
The aim of the two day event was to provide an opportunity for researchers to present papers and ideas that focus on the linguistic aspects of minority/ised language media studies with a view to developing a publication on this topic.
Speakers, who included younger and more established academics, came from Columbia, Wales, Catalonia, Belgium, Scotland, The Basque Country, England and Ireland and the languages discussed ranged from Maori to South American Indian languages.
